So we have 10-15 cm of snow coming in the next 36 hours or so and then on Friday there is a clipper coming with more of the white stuff.
Our friends from Toronto came for the weekend but it took them over 7 hours last Friday because of a snow storm that wasn’t supposed to be much. Anyhow, it was a good visit. We had a group over on Saturday night for a good meal and a great visit. We even had a Wii tournament – most of them were rookies and it showed. They all need some practice. They accused me of spending all my time playing the Wii.
We watched the Sens-Pens game and the Sens were lucky to come away with a win. I’m watching the Sens-Toronto game right now and the Sens aren’t doing it. Toronto leads 1-0. I support the Sens but I can’t see them going very far in the playoffs. First, there is no consistency in their play, you never know which team is going to show up. They got pushed around by Columbus and couldn’t match the physical level of play which is the way they play in the western conference. Next if you stop Alfredsson you’ve stopped the Sens. Paddock seems to be doing everything he can to destroy the confidence of Martin Gerber while going with Ray Emery who sucks. There may be some trades – too bad they can’t trade the coach – I just don’t get him and I don’t see him inspiring the team. Maybe Brian Murray should come back behind the bench after the trade deadline. So the Sens got spanked good by the Leafs (5-0) and the Leafs were full value for their win. It should make it easy for Murray to move some of the non performers – right now they would get knocked out in the first rounds – pray that they don’t play Washington who cleaned their clocks for a 4-0 record this year.
There is a federal budget tomorrow but we can’t expect much since they’ve already giving us tax relief. The changes from the economic statement will help us a lot.
